DUTCH INVADE CASTLE


Eva and Katja, the two Dutch conquerors


No, we were friendly :)

A long long time ago, the Dutch were great travellers, and then they started getting drastically lost. Eva and Katja, having planed to catch a single train from Florence to Castiglione del Lago, managed to end up in Perugia. Several hysterical phone calls later, they decided to explore the town Eva’s sister JJ had lived in with Cristian, some 15 years earlier. Our first house guests eventually made it back in time to witness Cris being very sick at the Grotta restaurant in Cortona (not because of the quality of the delicious food, but because of the projectile-vomit-virus that I had suffered from a few weeks earlier). On Sunday morning, after a late night in Pepe Rosa where mein Freund Lukas joined us – and took several hours to return home with three police checks – I dragged the girls round our castle. We checked out the boats and I wondered if I should take up sailing now we have moved close to the lake.


The Tuscans attack from that side.
